Differences in suicide acceptability by farming-related occupation, demographic, and religiosity factors, general social survey 2000–2022
The present results showed that farmers'/ranchers' acceptability of suicide was not distinct from the general US population in multivariable models. However, given their disproportionately high suicide rate, they require customized outreach and interventions. Further research may elucidate how religiosity, demographic factors, and beliefs about suicide and religion impact interventions to prevent suicide for individuals working in farming/ranching.
